I know a guy that's got a Vox Lil Night Train that he wanted to sell so I put up my Epi Korina Explorer on CL to raise the cash.
While I was waiting for someone to buy a guy emailed me about a trade...how about a Marshall Class 5 in British Racing Green...hmmm...never really considered one of them before so off to youtube I went. Where I found videos of our very own Robert demo'ing the Class 5! Those videos a few others prompted me to take the trade.
Other guy's gonna be pissed but hey..life's short :)
This is one seriously LOUD amp - it seems to be way louder than my vibro champ XD even though they're both 5 watts. 10" speaker in this one I think. Hitting 9 o'clock on the volume and sitting close means my ears are hurtin' for certain! Haven't had a chance to really crank it to see how well it breaks up, but did put the blues driver in front of it and it sounds quite good. Not boxy at all - just got a Valve Jr too and that amp (also pictured since I never did a NAD for it) is very boxy. Granted, it's a much cheaper amp too and I like it alot. But this amp...wow - freakin' great amp.
Here's some pics:
